in obtaining a new site by the Autumn of 1962, he would be prepared
to consider an application from the Council for further deferment
of the Appointed Day.
Efforts to find an alternative site proved unsuccessful, but
towards the latter part of the year the Minister of Housing and
Local Government allowed an appeal against the planning
authority's refusal for an extension of the slaughterhouse premises
on the existing site.
On further representation by the Council, the Minister of
Agriculture, Fisheries and Food finally accepted the Slaughterhouse
Report which had been held in abeyance pending the outcome of
the appeal, and made 1st July, 1963, the Appointed Day from which
the slaughterhouse must comply with the Regulations.
